I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

I've got £8 in my bank account (yeah I'm a high roller) and I'm on steam.com and I'm considering blowing my huge wads of cash on one of these three games.

Well, I'm a novice PC gamer, and as such I have no idea which game to buy, so experienced PC gamers of the Flood, could you help me choose?

Which game and why?

UT.

Because flak cannons and shock rifles.

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

Quake or UT
Counterstrike is "ehh"

Go for Quake, since you're looking for competitive games, I assume. However, Quake Live is free, and is a lot of fun. Counter-Strike is good, but just not my cup of tea. Unreal Tournament is also good, but I haven't put in as much time as Quake.

The metascore for quake and counterstrike is higher?

One more question, do they all have campaigns? whether they're good or not?

Quake and Unreal Tournament both have offline "bot" modes, but it's basically just skirmishes. No official campaign. CS doesn't have a campaign at all. They're all focused on multiplayer, though.

Counterstrike was awesome back in the day, but now it's either uber elite or uber cheaters playing.

Yeah competitive games are the only ones worth playing online!

Cheers so far guys, looks like CounterStrike is the worst of the choices so far.

CS is fine; it's just a military shooter, and I'm not a fan of those anymore. I like Quake the best because I like arena shooters and it seems to demand the most skill. All of them are fun though, and all require a ton of skill. Happy slaying.

I -blam!- love Unreal Tournament. Quake is also pretty damn awesome. I never played Counter Strike so I dunno.

Cheers pal, does Quake still have a thriving community?

Quake LIVE = free

CS:GO = is awesome

UT = meh

<3

I'm going to say UT because I was never really introduced to Quake.

After I was though, I can say that they're both very good shooters.

  • 12.10.2012 11:48 AM PDT

Quake, no contest.

Also, you forgot you're poll; if you wanna know which one to get then you should devise a poll so that you know how much of each it is otherwise you will not get a number so you won't know which one to get.

EDIT: Actually I only played Quake 1 (1997 one...) so I dunno, but Quake 1 is the best game ever made, so I dunno, I haven't played Quake Live, or the others, but Quake 1 was the best game ever made, therefore I say Quake...

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Quake.

Currently studying Computer Science & Software engineering. Hope to work on mobile devices of the future! When a certain game's credits roll, look out for my name! ;)

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

Quake>CS>UT

Because skill.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

CoD vs. BF vs. Medal of Honour can suck this trio's -blam!-.

This is why I didn't want a poll, just wanted to gather opinions, if I wanted a survey I'd have checked the sales figures. I wanted to see what people had to say about each game, if they weren't willing to comment I wouldn't value their opinion.

Think it's going to have to be Quake!
